Enhance product design, manufacturing, quality, and research

Tekscan is the world's leading innovator and manufacturer of tactile pressure and force measurement solutions for test and measurement. From force measurement to pressure mapping, our sensing solutions provide unique data and insight to validate your technology, reduce costs, and enhance product design and quality for optimal results. Tekscan manufactures two distinct types of test & measurement analysis systems -- those used for measuring pressure, and those for measuring force. Depending on the type of data you wish to capture, one system option may serve your needs better than the other. 

With DYTRAN Instruments Inc. we have a competent partner for:
  • Single and Triaxial Piezoelectric Accelerometers
  • Single and Triaxial MEMS Accelerometers
  • Force Sensors and Pressure Sensors
  • Impulse Hammer Systems
  • Electronics, Cables and Accessories
Embedded Sensing

Still not sure which system type (pressure vs. force) you are looking for? See more system information below: 

Pressure Mapping Systems

Pressure mapping systems utilize a matrix of sensing points to measure pressure distribution across the entire sensing array.

Not Sure What System is Right For You?

 
  • ELSTAR Services
  • Sensor calibration, we are able to calibrate accelerometers, eddy probes or velocity transducers at your site or ours.
  • On installations that use our Cabstar system, we are able to measure the complete measurement chain using a vibration table in the balancing pit. We measure simultaneously the Cabstar measurement values and compare to a local calibration system, this enables us to measure the line loss. The transducer calibration value and line loss can be entered into Cabstar for line loss compensation.
  • Bearing pedestal stifness. Using our centrifugal exciter we are able to measure the force being applied to the bearing pedestal through three calibrated force transducers. With this method we can provide a traceable stifness measurement for your balancing bearing pedestal.
  • Remote service access. With your permition we are able to use VNC to remote the access your Cabstar system in order to assist online any issues which may occur.
  • Elstar offers a range of service contracts which cover worldwide support (we support installations in America, Europe and Asia) to assist you with service planning.

ELSTAR has wide experience in supplying sensors chiefly in the area of vibration and Rotating machinery applications.
